1 Cardiocerebral Resuscitation Improves Survival of Patients with Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest 
Michael J. Kellum, MD, Kevin W. Kennedy, MS, Gordon A. Ewy, MD  The American Journal of Medicine  Volume 119, Issue 4, Pages (April 2006) DOI: /j.amjmed Copyright © 2006 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 The number of patients in each subset of total cases is presented for the historical control period (C) and the demonstration project period (D). DOA cases were considered “dead-on-arrival” and resuscitation was either not initiated or was terminated in the field. DNR individuals had a valid do-not-resuscitate order in effect. The cause of an arrest was classified as Cardiac, Non-Cardiac or Unknown (information insufficient). An arrest was considered “Witnessed” if collapse was either seen or heard. Initial rhythms were designated as shockable or non-shockable. The neurologic CPC scores for survivors are presented.
